For foodies, getting into the kitchen on a weekend is a form of fun and relaxation. It’s the perfect time to try new things, learn new techniques and enjoy the fruits of your labor for dinner.
Years ago, our Culinary Officer took the time to teach me how to make pasta. At first, I thought she was crazy, but it was so much fun, not to mention delicious.
This recipe for Nonni Maria Julia’s Ravioli gives you a perfect pasta assignment. It’s a recipe shared by the Sangiacomo family in Northern California. The family is know for expansive, beautiful vineyards in the Sonoma Valley.
It all began in 1927, when Vittorio and Maria Sangiacomo bought a 52-acre fruit-tree ranch in Sonoma. Today, three generations live on, or near, the vineyards and are involved in practically every aspect of keeping the family legacy going.
The family is sharing this recipe for Nonni Maria Julia’s Ravioli and Gravy Sauce that’s been passed down for generations. Each year, the estate winemaker selects a few special barrels from the vineyards and blends an exceptional wine to honor Maria Julia and Vittorio.
A 2016 Sangiacomo ViMaria Pinot Noir is the perfect option for pairing with this ravioli and a great reward for your pasta-making efforts. You can find more about the wide range of wine offered and the story of the family vineyard here.
